Deaver has returned with a book so smart and well investigated, it's deffiently worth reading.

This is about a computer hacker who kills his victims by hacking into their lives.

This has a few good twists and one or two average ones. Good Novel though!

I could hardly bear to stop reading. Page after page I wanted to keep on reading.. where were we going next?
I had my own thoughts on who was who...
I was wrong.
An excellent book. But I find myself asking how possible is it?
I'm told all the time that *nix doesn't get virii... yet here they are. And, I suppose technically speaking a lot of what was being written about weren't virii but backdoors and trojans. I'm not sure about those and *nix.
Still. Technicalities aside, it was a highly enjoyable read!

Another Jefferey Deaver book without his usual hero - Lincoln Rhyme. There is the usual pace, twists and turns and fabulous narration, but obviously no crime scene analysis or forensics.
It is set in the world of IT/computer programming/hacking. I have no experience or knowledge in this area and therefore found it a great read - not sure how accurate or current the IT info is though.....
